Brand new, unused Tokoname-yaki (pottery) jar, a representative of Japan, size 8 (14.4 liters), amber color, with a heavy stone. I bought it intending to use it, but I never did and have been storing it. The size of the jar increases as the number goes up. The jar alone sells for over 10,000 yen (the heavy stone is over 3,000 yen). I would like to pass it on to someone who will use it. It's suitable for making pickles, miso, and pickled plums, as it doesn't retain odors and can be used cleanly for decades. ※ Earthenware jars have less temperature fluctuation, making it difficult for bad bacteria to breed, protecting the "lactic acid bacteria" and "yeast" that are the stars of pickles, and bringing out the flavor. ※ This container does not retain odors and is easy to sterilize, keeping the contents clean. ※ "Hisamatsu products" are made with a focus on food safety, ensuring that they do not contain lead or cadmium. Of course, it's made in Japan. (Stamped with Hisamatsu and "8" on the bottom) ※ Size: Inner diameter 279mm x Outer diameter 330mm x Depth 280mm x Height 330mm Total weight: approx. 8.3kg Capacity: 14.4L (Full capacity is approx. 16L)
